Maybe things will start to improve?

Maybe things will start to get better? I noticed the other day that the rash on my arms and chest is getting better and the streaking rash on my abdomen is getting better (I think both rashes are caused by Bartonella). My blood is also really thick (I first noticed this while trying to donate blood before I got a diagnosis, my blood came out very slowly and they couldn't finish). I also never bruise, but I run in to things pretty much everyday, probably because of the thick blood. Also, getting blood work is a nightmare, which is partly because of genetics (my mom has small veins), but might also be because of the thick blood. Anyways, the point of all of this is that the last few times I got blood work, they didn't struggle, and I bruised in two different places! So, maybe my blood is getting back to normal? These things are so small and minor compared to my other symptoms, but I am hoping that other symptoms will start to improve. Maybe the teasel root extract is working! And hopefully the Bartonella test comes back positive so that my LLMD can try to get me covered (by insurance) for a PICC line. What do you guys think?

We are at a bit of a standstill right now, because my stomach is so sensitive will oral antibiotics and insurance won't pay for IV antibiotics without a positive test, but I definitely think the teasel root extract is helping, at snail speed (or slower), but at least it is doing something. Unfortunately, my LLMD said that if this test result is negative he doesn't know what else to do so I have to go somewhere else. I am trying not to think about that part at the moment!

This is awesome, glad to hear! Every little bit of improvement is so encouraging.
